Sex and Drugs in the 1890s

If you think weed being legal is crazy, you should have seen Denver’s drug scene at the turn of the last century. At this lecture, local author Randi Samuelson-Brown—fresh off the release of her debut historical novel—will give a rundown of the brothels, drug dens, and bootleg joints that ran the Front Range during the Wild West days. Intrigued by what you hear? Stick around afterwards to buy a copy of Samuelson-Brown’s book, The Beaten Territory.
